First Responders
Safe driving behaviors are a matter of life and death.
Safe driving behaviors are a matter of life and death.
Safe driving skills are imperative for first responders as they’re driving to and from emergencies. In fact, leaving a scene can be more distracting than getting to it because drivers and passengers are often distracted by talking about the emergency situation. Smith System driver safety training can help first responders stay focused while driving to or away from the site of an accident, injury or fire.
“The Smith System driver improvement training techniques have helped reduce Lextran’s accident rate 10.2% the first year and an additional 38% the second year. We have received such positive feedback from our training department and operators about how the 5 Keys are a part of their daily driving routine, not only at work but also when not working.”
